Yes, Met, THANK YOU! I’m an avid, faithful reader but don’t comment often enough, especially to express my gratitude for everything you do here. To be honest, however, I’m a little scared to print this list (as well as the Cars ones from earlier) and use it to go through the collection here as I’m afraid it might demonstrate I have some kind of *cough* problem. But now I have to know something else… Grem? He has a variant? I had no idea. What changed?
(MET: New checklist with everything. 🙂 Grem – single, 2-pack with different eyebrows and the 2-pack eyebrows with dark gray tires instead of black … ).

The count for Cars 2 I get is closer to 200, not counting variants. That includes the 2014 cars that were released in 2013.
(MET: Humm, that’s a pretty big difference … Somehow Ruka & Waiter Mater fell off the list but other than that? I did not recount every puzzle release – I capped minor variants at 1 or 2 depending on the grid … and there are like 7 or 8 Jeff Gorvettes – I think I listed 5? It’s a general guideline 🙂 ).

There was also a Lightning McQueen with Travel Wheels in a two-pack with a Sneaky-Looking Fillmore…… and one with silver rims in a Finish Line Frenzy game? Not a big deal, really. Either of them.

(MET: Yea, it’s in the magazine checklist but here, it’s more of like a general guideline. For instance, all the puzzle-game CARS, if they were shown that way in the film, I would definitely consider them major variants or even warrants its own line but as non-canon, those that are collecting them will, this chart serves as a general guideline).
